Is there a back channel way to monitor RYK's Numismatic Tweets™ while in China?

I am sitting in the lounge at the Beijing airport, waiting for my 1 PM flight back to New York. Taking full advantage of the free internet service, I decided to check out what RYK has been tweeting about since my trip started nearly 10 days ago. A friend of mine from Beijing told me that certain internet sites are banned here, such as Facebook and Twitter. Not believing her, I tried to get into both sites. Unfortunately, when I type in the websites, I get a error message that the server is not available.

Now I am extremely paranoid and wondering if it was a bad thing to try to get into the sites. Does anyone know if there is a back-channel way for me to get into Twitter so I can check the Numismatic Tweets™ that RYK has been posting? Or should I not press my luck and just wait until I am back in NY to see what RYK has been Tweeting about?

Let me make it easy for you. RYK has not had a numismatic tweet for quite some time. There have been some #Longacre tweets, but none were explicitly coin-related. Feel better?

Thanks. I feel better now. I tried a few times to get into the site and I don't want to risk not being able to leave the country.

Longacre, Might I suggest that a quick google search of "web proxy" is in order. If the Chinese authorities catch on, I will deny ever saying such a thing.

Safe travels...Mike
